Wild East 2

During May we made a trip to Eastern and Central Germany. More specifically the former GDR or East Germany. It was interesting to see the wealth of species in the former no go areas (Schutzstreifen) on the border between East and West. An area now largely protected as the German Green Belt, which in turn is part of the European Green Belt stretching along the former Iron Curtain. Above is a small selection of images from May in Germany.
